WASHINGTON, D.C. – American families and those looking to start or grow their family will receive considerable relief and support under The One, Big, Beautiful Bill tax policies put forward by the Ways and Means Committee. The legislation includes a boost to the doubled Child Tax Credit for more than 40 million families; expands
529 education savings accounts to empower parents and students to choose the education that best fits their needs; increases access to child care; strengthens the adoption tax incentives; and makes permanent the paid leave tax credit.
American families will have more control over their health care decisions through expanded health savings accounts and the cementing into law of a Trump Administration policy that offers more choice and flexibility for health coverage options. New parents will also be able to immediately begin building financial security for their newborn child through newly created savings accounts.
Organizations leading the charge to promote life and champion the interests of working families, parents, and children are expressing their support for the pro-family, pro-life policies at the heart of The One, Big, Beautiful Bill.
